Police find drugs and brass knuckles after robbery, high-speed chase

Fayetteville Police have two people in custody after a high-speed car chase with a white Ford Ranger that ended near the West Fork exit on Interstate 540, said Craig Stout with the Fayetteville Police Department.

Police were able to catch up with the suspects, driver James Roork, 26, and Denise Berry, 25, after using road spikes to stop the white Ford Ranger, Stout said.

Stout said the University of Arkansas police contacted them about a robbery at the Walmart store on Arkansas' campus.

Police were dispatched to Garland Avenue to search for the robbery suspects, Stout said.

Police began following the ranger westbound on Wedington as it was speeding and attempted a traffic stop, Stout said.

Nearing the I-540 exit Roork began erratically changing lanes and almost hit several other cars, according to the police report. The driver reached 100 mph driving between lanes and straddling the center line, police said.

Near the West Fork exit, a Washington County Sheriff's deputy used spike strips to stop the car.

Roork and Berry were taken into custody. Police also found marijuana, drug paraphernalia, brass knuckles. plastic baggies, a hollowed out soda can and stolen money from the donation jar taken during the Walmart robbery.
